I'd remove "VINTAGE" from that group --
it just means (or should)
(1) it is old and seller isn't sure of precise dates or ..
(2) ebay has not seen fit to supply date breakdowns in some categories that work for what you have.
(3) well there has to be a "3" but I cnat think of it right now :)
ann ========================= Usually 1.
3. It actually isn't that old and they are just trying to pass it off as truly old, old -- or older than they suspect or know it is. That happens too. (Not with camera equipment, necessarily, because that is pretty datable, but other stuff.)
Originally from wine descriptions, meaning "from one year's grape harvest". Then taken to mean something like "good and rare quality" in anything from cars to books. Now a universally degraded descriptor. Part of the fluff that flies past your eyes as you try to work out what the vendor really means to say ... or hide.
